Compared to scrapbooking, blogging is cheaper, easier, more portable, easier to share, and more permanent. Do these facts negatively impact the value of scrapbooking franchises?

No. It's much nicer to have an album to pass around to the girls when they all come by for coffee. People may archive photos online, but that will never replace albums. It's so impersonal to go sit at the computer to look at someone's photos. Blah. I'd much rather have an album in hand. Putting it together is much more fun, too.
If you're considering opening a scrapbooking store, I'd reconsider, There are plenty of them. To be original, open a support business for the scrapbooking stores -- like a paper company or a die cut company or something from which the scrapbooking stores would make wholesale purchases.

That's rather silly, scrap booking is just as popular a ever. Blogging is something that really can't replace it, for real crafter the enjoyment that can be found in creating something just can't be substituted with a computer, especially when it uses something like photos that bring back memories of great times. The are even many television shows that are solely dedicated to scrap booking, which the same could not be said about blogging.
Blogging is a nice hobby but i disagree that it is more permanent or easy to share. Computer file can be lost or erased, just as scrapbook can be lost, and there are people without computers so they wouldn't be able to access the blogs and scrapbooks are just as easy to transport and will have a much greater effect on the viewer than starring at a computer screen.

No. There's no substitute for the fun of hands-on assembly. If anything hurts the franchises, it will be market over-saturation, too much competition and the natural tendency of fads to change. There will always be a market for hands-on assembly, but scrapbooking may give way to something else eventually.

scrapbooks you can have forever, if its on the computer it takes about ten seconds for it to go into space and be lost forever. also there is no real creativity to messing with things online, i sure dont paint my pictures on line, i paint them on watercolor paper.

As long as I am alive and have money the scrap-booking industry will be safe.
